Nashville Arbor Day

The
Nashville Arbor Day Ceremony is a Metro tradition of honoring our city trees
which provide beauty and homes for birds, cleans the air and mitigates
stormwater. One part of the Ceremony involves students who participate in the
Arbor Day contests to creatively write about trees or to produce tree themed
art work. There are three student categories:

The entered art work will be on display
and the winning essay and song or poem will be read by the student authors as
part of the Ceremony. Another program highlight is the annual reading of
Nashville’s Arbor Day Proclamation by Mayor Briley.
